Kiersten Haas of Schnellville, 16, and tied her cows with her brother Justin, 20, as she checked in her animals Monday at the Dubois County 4H Fairgrounds in Bretzville. Haas planned to show swine at this year’s fair but all swine-related events are canceled because of a virus affecting pigs. Rachel Mummey/The Herald

Adria Giesler of Ferdinand, 18, washed her cow while chatting with Jared Schwenk of Jasper, 14, during check-in Monday at the Dubois County 4-H Fairgrounds in Bretzville. The cancelation of all swine-related events at this year’s fair means Haas won’t participate in her favorite livestock show. Rachel Mummey/The Herald
